Source language: Turkish

intihar sadece bilekleri kesmekle, ilaç içmekle, yüksek bir yerden atlamakla mı olur? Yani bir anda yapılıp, sonucu hemen canımızla ödemekle mi olur? Bence hayır. Uzun süre kendini zehirleyenlerde vardır. Sonuç direk bir ölüm olmaz. Yavaş yavaş can çekişerek olur. Bu ne mi? Sigara.

Translated by kfeto
Target language: English

Is suicide achieved only by slitting one's wrists, overdosing on medication or jumping from a high building? Its meaning is an instant action which has to produce an immediate result: the loss of one's life. I don't think so. There are also those who poison themselves over a longer period of time. The result is not immediate death but a slow and agonizing one. Its name? Cigarette.
Remarks about the translation
took some liberties, true in meaning though.
i'd change the last word into:tobacco

Hi kfeto,

"...by cutting one's wrists" would sound better.

The rest sounds fine to me.
